Printable Characters
The GL characters in a 7-bit environment and GL and GR in an 8-bit
environment are interpreted as printable if they are not embedded in
a control function. It takes selection of both a font and a graphic
character set to specify a character to be printed. The font is made up
of a type style, a size, and a design (regular, bold, italics).
Choosing a graphics character set involves the following steps:
▪
Designate the graphics character set as one of the logical sets G0,
G1, G2, or G3.
▪
Assign (map) one of the sets above into the graphic left (GL) or
graphics right (GR) logical set.
